  • Here When It’S Put Online Is More up to Date Than If We Were Like Other Mags That Unavoidably Have to Go to the Printers a Couple of Weeks Before Getting in the Shops
    Page 2 Welcome to the first ever edition of Piledriver Online. Some of you will already be familiar with this publication as it has previously been available at shows and on subscription but now it has a new home on the internet in full colour and I sincerely hope you all enjoy this debut edition. So what’s different about Piledriver Online? Well, using this format one main difference is that the information here when it’s put online is more up to date than if we were like other mags that unavoidably have to go to the printers a couple of weeks before getting in the shops. We also have more pages and give plenty of coverage to UK wrestling, have more news coverage, more interviews and a look back at the history of professional wrestling home and abroad. Oh and of course it’s free to read! We will soon be launching Piledriver Plus and that will give you more news, competitions and features that will not appear in the main magazine all for just ten pounds a year (current subscribers need not apply). More about that at www.pildedriver-online.co.uk soon, oh and don’t forget to join our forums and if you’re interested in advertising with us at incredibly cheap rates and in full colour just go to our website for more details. We’re just weeks away from Wrestlemania now and the card is gradually taking shape, in fact the two main title matches were confirmed even before ‘No Way Out’ took place on February 18th which isn’t always the case as that PPV usually has a match to determine who gets a title shot at Wrestlemania and it’s not that long ago since the WWE title even changed hands at that PPV when Eddie Guerrero beat Brock Lesnar.

  • Cubed Circle Newsletter 222 – Daniel Bryan Retires in This Week's Newsletter We Look Into the Retirement of Bryan Danielson/Da
    Cubed Circle Newsletter 222 – Daniel Bryan Retires In this week's newsletter we look into the retirement of Bryan Danielson/Daniel Bryan from a number of perspectives, recap the events leading up to Monday's retirement, comprehend the possible effects it may have on the future of pro-wrestling injuries and protocol, the rest of the RAW show, WWE financials, Titus 'O Neal, and more! – Ryan Clingman, Cubed Circle Newsletter Editor The Pro-Wres Digest for February 7th – February 13th Ben Carass. There is only one place to start this week, and that is with the retirement of one of the best professional wrestlers I have ever seen in my near 24 years of being a fan, Bryan Danielson, at the age of just 34. Danielson sent out a Tweet on Monday afternoon and revealed that the serial drama that had become his struggle to get medical clearance was finally over. “Due to medical reasons, effective immediately, I am announcing my retirement. Tonight on Raw, I'll have a chance to elaborate. #gratitude,” he revealed. Danielson's 35 minute retirement speech on RAW was one of the most genuine and relatable segments in the history of live Monday night wrestling and was among the best send-offs in pro wrestling history. But to understand the full story, you have to go back to March 31st 2015, two days after Bryan won the Intercontinental championship at WrestleMania 31, in Frenso, CA, when Danielson wrestled Sheamus in the main event. At the time I wrote about the match, “they had a good, hard-hitting match.
